Thurso tap water leaves a bad taste in the mouth

[dozy]

Is there something wrong with the Thurso tap water, not only has it left folk with sore throats but it leaves a oily / slimey residue around the surface line . It's also playing havoc with my morning coffee with an streaking affect on top and a funny after taste. So it's out with the water filter jug before filling the kettle or coffee machine .

Sure there is more chlorine in it these days. Used to love a cold pint of water in the summer, but this 'summer' definitely had a strong chlorine smell and unpleasant aftertaste.

I have to agree its the same with Bower water not nice to drink at the moment

Scottish Water have a fact sheet called "Colour, taste and odour explained" which gives reasons for differences in water supply:
